Diffusion and magnetization transfer MRI of brain infarct, infection, and tumor in children
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and magnetization transfer imaging (MTI) in the differential diagnosis of brain infarct, infection, hamartoma, and tumor in 106 children. The apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) and magnetization transfer ratios (MTRs) of the lesions were compared using nonparametric tests. There was an inverse relationship between ADC and MTR in subacute/chronic …
